Leaving a fiery trail, .50 caliber bullets streak through the night as maintenance men of the 49th Fighter Bomber Wing in Korea, test fire a Republic F-84 Thunderjet Wing guns will be checked and put in perfect firing order before the plane takes off in the morning on a bombing and strafing mission over enemy lines. Photo taken ca.08/1952.

Streaking north over the rugged mountain territory of Korea, these U.S. Air Force F-86 Sabre jets of the 51st Fighter Interceptor Wing stay alert for Communist MIG-15s. The Sabre pilots of the 51st and 4th Fighter Interceptor Wings set a new record against the Russian-built interceptors in September, destroying 61, probably destroying another seven, and damaging 57 others. Only four Sabre jets were lost in air-to air engagements, during the month, one-fifteenth of the Red loss. Photo taken ca.10/1952.

Aerial photos made from low-flying unarmed U.S. Air Force jet reconnaissance planes revealed these barracks-type structures near Chiktong in North Korea, which are believed to house enemy-held UN war prisoners. This enlarged section shows soldiers, some waving, others just looking at the aircraft overhead. Their true identity is a mystery. Structures show no markings which Communist officials promised to use on all camps housing prisoners of war. Photo taken ca.03/1952. (Click here for a larger image.)
